made through attorneys for llcenre TO sell
beer and vine By a number Of parties
Acssrs. E. G. Smith, /. 7. DevereauX, and
c. NJ. Basbee appeared for the applicants
tor license. They contended that the

wine and beer. They quoted from re-
cent decision OF the Supreme Court (>tate
IS. Nash in which Smith c. j., says:
The argument al the bar has been
principally directed TO an inquiry as TO
the meaning of the term ''spirituOus
liquors IN which we do not propose to
follow, further than to say the inclination
OF our opinion, in constituting this penal
enactment III connection with the use OF
the words in other parts Of the Code, Is to
cenine ii to such liquors as are formed
from distillation and not to extend II to
sucn as generate alcohol BY vinous fer
mentation only according TO the difnltlons
given both BY Dr. Webster and Dr. Wor-
ecster III thel. dictionaries. But we leave
the point Undecided and open for fuller
consideration, ,4nles5 it shall be directly
presented and require determination.

ING Of license to sell wine and beer on the
ground that they were not embraced IL
